Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 very ripe bananas
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup smooth peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Mash bananas with a fork in another medium bowl until smooth. Mix sour cream and vanilla extract into bananas.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and beat until well blended. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with banana mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition until just blended. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin cups, adding about a generous 1/4 cup in each.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar into a large bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, and peanut butter; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread or pipe frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

These cupcakes were very good! The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cupcakes themselves were perfect.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting next time.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they came out just as good as the regular flour version.
